Q: I can see a lot of simulations on the Home screen, but I cannot view them?
A: The simulation file may have been moved or deleted without the use of SimView. If the files are moved
back, they should play again, if they have been deleted, delete the entries on the “Home” screen, they have
been lost.
Q: I sometimes get a “connection timed out” or garbled video for my PTZ cameras.
A: This can happen if the room has too little light. Please make sure that there is light enough or change the
PTZ camera settings according to the Axis manual. To restore the connection press F5.
Q: The image is very choppy and / or out of synch and / or latency is very high
A: This happens if the network cannot handle the traffic properly, i.e. low bandwidth or unstable connection.
 Make sure you are using a wired 100 Mbit network or faster
 Cables are in good working order
 Network is not congested
 Alternatively you can lower the resolution of the cameras to lower bandwidth usage
If the video is played back on a low performance PC it may be the reason for the problems.
Q: I often have “Time out no data received” when I arrive in the morning?
A: Some cameras may give this problem when the images don’t change, as in darkness, try to add an overlay
with the data and time, this is done in the ASIX camera setup, using the operator mode.
Q: Not all of the USB camera settings work?
A: Try a lower frame rate, update the driver. Disabling the manufactures driver, and rely on the Microsoft
embedded driver may solve the issue completely.
Q: SimView is not remembering my passwords.
A: Remembering passwords is a feature in the browser you are using (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox).
If passwords are not being remembered it is most likely because of a user actively selecting not to save the
password for this site. To reset this setting, you can try to clear the browser’s cache settings or enquire with
your IT whether policies are in place to stop you from remembering passwords. It may also be because you
have used another address for the SimView Server, i.e. shifting between name and IP address.
Q: Patient Monitor video takes a very long time to show up in live view / Patient monitor plays ok in live
view, but will not play back
A: Please make sure the quality is set to High in the Instructor application. Also check that the resolution of
the PC monitor showing the Patient Monitor is set to less than 1920 * 1080.
